Building on the success and momentum from the 2010 national championship, the F1000 National Championship presented by George Dean Racing Engines and Taylor Race Engines returns for 2011.  Just weeks after Brandon Dixon was crowned the 2010 F1000 National Champion during the SCCA Runoffs at Road America, both George Dean Racing Engines and Taylor Race Engineering committed to back the season-long championship once again in 2011.  Formula 1000, designated Formula B (FB) by the SCCA, was introduced to the national racing scene in 2007 and has since continued to grow and garner attention from many racers, including several national champions. 

 

Like last year, the season-long championship will feature all registered F1000 drivers battling for top honors in SCCA National races across the USA. Utilizing the traditional SCCA National points system (12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), F1000 Championship competitors will accrue points for race finishes in all National races. In addition to the standard points being awarded, program participants will be awarded bonus points for each F1000 entrant that finishes the weekend behind them.  Further championship points will be available at Road America in September as part of the SCCA Runoffs, where drivers can earn double points for a top-nine finish.  Utilizing this points format, each driver’s best six results plus the Runoffs will be used to calculate the inaugural series champion.

 

Thanks to backing from George Dean Racing Engines and Taylor Race Engineering, F1000 National Championship competitors will not only be fighting for class bragging rights, but also an impressive series prize fund.  In addition to a season-ending purse being paid out, several other prizes and programs are to be to be announced shortly.  Competitors will also receive an F1000 decal and a commemorative championship t-shirt.
